Out & About #470 | GOT7 Departure from Pearson Airport

7/4/2018

 
​I set my alarm clock for 11 AM the next day. It had been a long day, but I couldn't miss the opportunity to bid the boys farewell. It would precisely one week before I would be graced with their presence again.

​The entire ordeal worked out in the most amusing way possible. Quite frankly I was betting on the chance that GOT7 would not arrive at the airport with a lot of time to spare before going through security. By the time my bus had pulled into the underground area of Terminal 1, it was already nearing 1 PM.
My first instinct was to visit the bathroom, for the length of waiting could be anywhere from ten minutes to two hours. Cleaning staff had partially blocked the entrance to the closest bathroom and all stalls inside were full. This prompted me to head upstairs to the U.S. Departures section in the meantime.

​I gradually made my way over to the same gate that a certain potato and I had parted ways after an intense four days. My first observation were the police cars that were parked outside. A group of camera-carrying girls surrounding the double doors was the next hint.
Just as I joined the group, a black van pulled up to the doors.

​They were here! And I had barely waited at all!

Staff members and security began to disperse, waving aside fans and fansites in preparation for GOT7's entry. The scene was significantly calmer than that of their arrival, but then again, not many people expected the idols to fly out immediately following their concert.

​Approximately forty people assimilated around the boys once they entered the building; some had been swiftly snapping shots of them from the moment they disembarked the van.
Once inside, the fans gathered around the group and we - along with GOT7, staff, and security - collectively moved towards the security gate.
One by one, they entered the Priority Security Line. The order was: Jackson, JB, Youngjae, BamBam, Mark, Jinyoung, and Yugyeom.
​I missed Jackson, JB, and Youngjae by the time I had shifted to a new shooting spot for improved clarity.
BamBam happily waved goodbye to us as he strode by with his huge black backpack. As he stepped past me, I remembered to hurriedly call out, "See you in New York​!".
Next was Jinyoung, who kept his gaze low. "Bye Jinyoung!" I managed to catch his attention amidst filming: eye contact was made and a distinct nod was sent my way.

​The entire trip was concluded in under fifteen minutes. While in wait for the next bus, a bottle of Perrier and dry, stale pretzel were obtained to carb cravings. On a general note, airport sustenance is pricey without much gustatory reward.

​Here's to seeing GOT7 for three consecutive days! Next stop: Eyes On You in New York!!
